Help my Gold Head Goby is CRAZY!

[Triple_B]

So Sunday I picked up a Gold Head Sleeper Goby... drip acclimated, left the lights off for a day and then slowly cycled them back to normal. He took right to the tank, swam around acting normal, and started making himself a burrow under a big base rock... where he stays.

He hides under his rock 90% of the time, but whenever he does come out he just swims around spazzing out and acting crazy! I don't know if he's still just nervous or if I got a retarded fish. I'm afraid he'll get used to this lifestyle, turn into a recluse, and just live in his mom's basement playing WoW all day just like m... nvm, off topic. But really though, my mom brings me hotpockets and he's not eating anything. :sad1:

Anyone have any similar experience? It's only been 5 nights, but I'm worried about him.

Oh I do have 3 Damsels as tank mates and honestly I think they are more scared of Oscar than he is them...

Thanks,

In all seriousness though, I am worried about him. I have only seen him sift through the sand a couple of times. When I got him from the LFS I went in and checked him out twice, for about 30 minutes each trip and he was constantly sifting sand and very calm.

Now he's acting like a crack head and not eating.
